    THE PITIFULS Hold My Heart To The Fire LocoBop L2I-012 Malaco Records’ house band in Jackson, MS was one of the best tight knit rhythm sections that southern studios were noted for in the 1960s and ‘70s. James Stroud (drums), Carson Whitsett (keyboards), Dino Zimmerman (guitar), and Don Barrett (bass) shaped hits by ZZ Hill, Dorothy Moore, Paul Simon, Paul Davis, Little Milton, Bobby Blue Bland, Johnnie Taylor, and Eddie Floyd. In the early 1980s, Stroud seized an opportunity to work with some of Nashville’s biggest names. Barrett, Zimmerman, and Whitsett, coincidently but individually, made Nashville their home as well. No longer a unit, they independently recorded with KT Oslin, Eddie Rabbitt, Janis Ian, Kathy Mattea, BB King, Eric Clapton, Suzy Bogguss, John Mayall, and Waylon Jennings. Whitsett also collaborated with Dan Penn, Tony Joe White, and others writing hits for Solomon Burke, Lorrie Morgan, John Anderson, Joe Cocker, and Conway Twitty. THE NEXT FOOL I FORGOT TO BE YOUR LOVER In 1996, Whitsett, Zimmerman, and Barrett reunited for a CLEAN SLATE one-off project with drummer Jimmy Hyde of Eddie SMOKE FILLED ROOM Rabbitt’s band and keyboardist Gene Sisk (Sawyer Brown, LOVE AT WORK The Judds, Earl Scruggs). Dubbing themselves The THE PITIFULS Pitifuls, they recorded this album in Memphis with Grammy- HOLD MY HEART TO THE FIRE award-winning engineer Danny Jones. THEY SAY BACKSLIDIN' Don Barrett sings lead on the majority of tracks, alternating I'M GONNA LOVE YOU OUT OF HIS LIFE with the grittier Jimmy Hyde. Except for Barrett's I'm Gonna Love You Right Out Of His Life and the Soul classic I Forgot To Be Your Lover, all songs were penned by Carson Whitsett, some in tandem with Dan Penn, Larry Byrom, Gary Nicholson, and others.

  • Comments from Book Owners (2007)
    Comments 2007 Second Quarter Greg…..just got the book….what an amazing project….can’t tell you how much I appreciate being included in the text. Best of luck to you with it. Many thanks Duke Duke Bardwell (Greek Fountains) Greg, While in high school (67-68) I played sax with the Originals where I became friends with Wilson Rodgers. I followed Wilson to play bass with the Platters (Buck Ram's) where we got tight with Duke Hall who, with Wilson created Black & Blue. I was the original bass player and stage director of the band. (BTW, the photo you have of the group has Duke's wife standing in for Linda Green (who was not available for the hasty photo). I worked for short periods with the Monzas and the Peace Corp. The Peace Corp was a seasoned and talented group with Freddy Owens as their primary front man (Freddie and I knew each other from the 2nd grade. I was a too much of a hippy at the time and didn't really fit in with those guys but it was musically a blast. That was the end of my "beach music" days as I eventually drifted into jazz and moved to Florida where there was more opportunity for work. Gary Champion Gary, Thanks, we appreciate getting updated information. Do we have your tenures with both the Originals Monzas and Black & Blue in the band directories? If not, please forward the correct info, We would love to publish any other 60s era photos you have with any of the bands.

The storms hit during the night of Friday, Feb- ruary 2, 2007, at about 3:15, when most residents were sleeping. This is the news that I heard when I woke up just hours later. What follows are emails between the Mockbees and Penny Dunn Schooner (MHS ’65) Connie Dunn Overby’s sister. Also, you will remember that the 2006-2007 winter edi- tion of HOOFBEATing featured Connie and Billy Overby and excerpts from their Christmas card on pages 13 and 19. This newsletter is still available at www.ongulf.com/mhs. Estelle Noel Mockbee Area where tornado touched down February 2, 2007 Hi Estelle, I am Penny Dunn Schooner, Connie's little sis- ter, and she asked me to contact you to let you know they took their message recorder to someone's home and heard your message. They are not hurt, which is a miracle itself since they were asleep. Billy woke up and heard stuff hitting their home, told everyone (even a couple visiting from Atlanta) to go to the hall bath. Connie started through the hall toward the living room when the windows blew, and all hell broke loose. She held onto a doorknob for her life. The Atlanta cou- ple's car was found blocks away.

A beautiful photography book on its own. Gilbert's portraits are honest and lively. Soul - Memphis's Original Sound opens as a gallery show at The Stax Museum in Memphis, TN November 2014 "If a picture can speak 1,000 words, then author and photographer Thom Gilbert s Soul: Memphis Original Sound is comparable to an encyclopedia." Jay Z 's Life +Times "Gilbert's lens captured the songwriters, engineers, musicians, producers and others who had a hand in creating and shaping the Memphis sound of music." Memphis Daily News The book's mission is to document the legends of the Memphis soul music business. Photographer Thom Gilbert set up a photo studio at Royal Studios in Memphis, home of the famed Hi Records that launched the careers of Al Green, Ann Peebles, and dozens of others. The studio's "green room" was filled with soul music royalty: Bobby "Blue" Bland in his signature nautical cap, several of the Hodges brothers who make up the incomparable Hi Rhythm Section were on hand, Stax Records musicians Bobby Manuel, Lester Snell were there actually working on a recording, but pausing to have their portraits taken.

  • A Conversation with Tony Joe White by Frank Goodman (10/2006, Puremusic.Com)
    A Conversation with Tony Joe White by Frank Goodman (10/2006, Puremusic.com) When one thinks about swamp music (and one should think about swamp music, at least sometimes), the first guitar player who comes to mind is probably Tony Joe White. He is of it. And he is so highly regarded by his iconic peers that a handful of the most luminary showed up to contribute to his newest recording. When you make a record, and Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, J.J. Cale, Michael McDonald, and Waylon Jennings (posthumous) all come aboard to contribute songs, singing and playing, at that point surely you can conclude that you got all the way there in your lifetime. And Tony Joe White started getting there really early. He hit in his youth, first with "Soul Francisco" and then even bigger, with the huge hit that is pure South, "Polk Salad Annie." He really nailed it to the wall when he penned one of the greatest songs of anybody's time, "Rainy Night In Georgia." One of the many interesting stories in the conversation to come is how that classic almost never got recorded. Tony is a statesman of the swamp, and a real Louisiana gentleman. He is soft & very deeply spoken. When he talks about his family, his friends and bandmates, you feel the love without his having to mention the word. He's very grateful for the success of his great songs, which allowed him play the music close to his heart, without compromise. He still tours the world regularly, more abroad than in the States.
